Chapter 173 In the Safe
The conversation between Shen Jinci and Shen Zhaoli last night was still ringing in her ears. Bian Yue thought that maybe at that time, Shen Zhaoli would bring Li Xing's documents over.

She actually didn't know much about Shen Jinci's current situation. Shen Jinci was not the kind of person who liked to complain to her. On the contrary, he always gave silently, always did things quietly and didn't like to complain.

Bian Yue wanted to go in and see if there were any relevant documents.

The study was still arranged the same way as when Bian Yue came in before, deserted, rigorous, and without much warmth.

This is the feeling Shen Jinci gives people most of the time.

Bian Yue walked around the study and glanced at the documents on the table, but didn't see any relevant clues.

Bian Yue still didn't have the habit of rummaging through boxes and drawers, so she thought it would be better to go to Lixing to take a look at the situation.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, the safe in the corner caught Bian Yue's attention.

"Why is there a safe in the study?" Bian Yue murmured in confusion and walked towards the safe.

In fact, it is a very old box, and you can see signs of frequent use. The iron-gray metal emits a sharp light under the light, and its shape is square.

"Why don't I remember there was such a safe the last time I came here?"

Bian Yue muttered to herself, and the next moment, she squatted on the ground, and as if possessed by a ghost, she raised her hand and touched the box.
At Lixing Group, Shen Jinci was sitting in the main seat, listening to everyone's reports.

A paunchy director spoke up, sounding dissatisfied, "Mr. Shen, I don't have a problem with you. Looking at the entire Shen family, no one dares to have a problem with you. You are the head of the Shen family. We will unconditionally support any decision you make. But! You shouldn't be too sentimental and ignore the interests of the Shen family."

Shen Jinci looked indifferent, as if he had not heard the director's speech.

Shen Zhaoli on the side smiled and said nonchalantly: "Are you exaggerating a bit? Shen Jinci just asked a few lawyers to help his wife, how can it be elevated to the level of disregarding the entire Shen family?"

"Although my nephew's words were a bit too much, Mr. Shen not only asked a lawyer to help Miss Bian this time, but also unilaterally abolished all cooperation with Fengcheng without going through the board of directors' process. Shouldn't we all have opinions?"

The person who was speaking was old, with white hair. He was sitting opposite Shen Zhaoli, and it could be seen that he held considerable weight in the board of directors.

"I also worked hard with Mr. Shen's father for my entire life. I can't say that I have made any extraordinary contributions, but I definitely deserve the position I sit in now! I just don't know if Mr. Shen's current actions are worthy of the seat you sit in?"

Shen Jinci finally raised his eyes slightly and glanced indifferently at the old man who spoke.

"Shen Shen, since you have said so much today, it would be unreasonable for me not to give you an explanation, right?" Shen Jinci looked around at everyone, his tone calm.

Shen Shen had white hair but his eyes were still bright. He said with full energy, "Mr. Shen, if you now withdraw your notice that you will never cooperate with Fengcheng Group, we will not say anything. We have seen your ability and will obey your orders in the future as before."

"What? If I insist on having my own way now, will you rebel?" Shen Jinci's tone suddenly turned cold, and just a hint of hostility made everyone speechless.

"Mr. Shen, that's not what we meant."

"Bian Yue is my wife. Feng Cheng allowed Zhuang Jie Ning to trip up my wife. I just refused to cooperate with them. I have done my best."

"But this is Feng Cheng after all!" Shen Shen still did not give up, and said hurriedly: "Feng Cheng and Li Xing fell out, it is not good for anyone! Mr. Shen, you should still think about Li Xing and all of us!"

"There's nothing to discuss about this matter. If that's all you want to say, then we can adjourn the meeting." Shen Jinci was too lazy to waste words. He gestured to Kang Yu who was standing aside. Kang Yu understood and told everyone to leave.

Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Due to the pressure from Shen Jinci over the years, no one objected and they all left. Shen Shen was the last to leave. When he left, he glanced at Shen Zhaoli and Shen Jinci with a sullen look on his face. "If Mr. Shen were here, he would definitely be disappointed in you, Mr. Shen, for being like this!" After saying that, he left quickly without waiting for Shen Jinci to answer.

Only Shen Zhaoli and Shen Jinci were left in the office.

Shen Jinci didn't care about Shen Shen's words. Instead, Shen Zhaoli on the side laughed at himself and said, "Disappointed? Is it his turn to be disappointed in us? I haven't even said I'm disappointed in him!"

Shen Zhaoli paused, as if thinking. The next moment, he looked at Shen Jinci seriously and said slowly, "Shen Jinci, if you really want to protect Bian Yue, just do this. At worst, if the board of directors really makes a fuss, I will help you."

Shen Jinci looked at Shen Zhaoli calmly, his voice still dull, but one could hear that it was full of meaning: "Will you help me?"

"What's that tone of yours? If you don't want it, forget it!" Shen Zhaoli snorted coldly and stood up, saying, "While it's still early, let's go to your house and have lunch with your little darling Bian Yue."

After saying that, he walked out on his own.

Shen Jinci hesitated for only a moment before following Shen Zhaoli's steps.

At this time in the Shen family manor, Bian Yue was sitting in the study, studying the safe in front of her.

She had been looking at it for a long time, and finally couldn't help it and tried to enter the password.

"Shen Jinci's birthday?"

Bian Yue entered a row of numbers and the safe issued an error beep.

"No? Could it be my birthday?"

Bian Yue said this and actually tried to input another line of numbers.

This time, accompanied by a slight sound, the safe door slowly opened.

Before Bian Yue could open her door completely, a photo fell from the gap in the cabinet door.

Bian Yue picked up the photo on the ground and what came into view was the back of a little girl.

The little girl was wearing a beautiful skirt, with a slender and bright figure, and an indescribable vitality. She was running forward in the late spring sunshine, and the sunlight fell on her skirt, emitting a moving light.

Bian Yue gently stroked the photo, frowned, and said in a puzzled voice: "This is..."

She held the photo in her hand and looked at it again and again, and suddenly noticed that there was a small font on the back of the photo, which read: 16.

"16?" Bian Yue muttered, "Is this the order of the photos?"

She actually still had some doubts in her mind, such as which woman this back view photo belonged to.

So, out of curiosity, Bian Yue wanted to open the safe.

Until a surprised voice sounded at the door of the study, "Bian Yue!"

Bian Yue looked over in the direction of the sound and saw Shen Jinci standing at the door, looking at her nervously.
